1935 FordAnd you can see that in this 1935 Ford that was photographed at the 2022 Downtown Revival Car Show in Carson City. Since I’m far from an expert in cars, I cannot tell you how much this Ford was or was not customized. If you can, please email me.
While I'm not exactly sure of this 1935 Ford model, it looks to me like a 1935 Ford Tudor, which was part of Ford's introduction of the Model 48 as a V-8 update to the Model 40A.
In announcing the 1935 lineup of Fords, a company brochure stated, “We added beauty and a new kind of ride!”

While I'm not exactly sure of this 1935 Ford model, it looks to me like a 1935 Ford Tudor, which was part of Ford's introduction of the Model 48 as a V-8 update to the Model 40A.
The company offered two Tudor trim lines: DeLuxe and standard.
“Just as the first Ford V-8 revised all conceptions of power, pick-up and flexibility in low-priced cars, so the Ford V-8 for 1935 brings to this same field a new interpretation of riding smoothness and stability,” according to the “Ford V-8 for 1935” brochure that I downloaded from Ford’s archival website.
“Coupled with time-proved V-8 performance, Centre-Poise redoubles the satisfaction and pleasure of Ford ownership.”
Ford was big on this V-8 lineup (look at the photos of other Ford V-8S offered in 1935 that I've provided).

“If the new Ford V-8s offered no other advancements, they would be the finest Fords ever built. But you will find them distinguished by many other noteworthy features.”
The new Ford V-8 offered “new beauty and style; room and luxurious interiors; Clear-Vision ventilation; Safety Glass throughout in De Luxe models; welded all-steel bodies; softer clutch action; easier, more positive braking; improved steering; {and} larger tires,” according to the brochure.
The Ford V-8 was already well-established by 1935 with more than a million owners, according to Ford.
“{They have} proved the dependability and economy of the Ford V-8 engine,” the brochure notes. “New ‘direct-flow’ ventilation of the crankcase {e}nsures still longer life and greater efficiency.”

Ford called the V-8 “distinctive with new style and beauty” and said it “reveals smart, modern styling in every graceful line. All new Ford V-8s are distinguished by their finish and appointments both inside and out.”
Ford was also proud of its engineering of the 1935 Ford V-8 models.
“Centre-Pointe ~ a new feature of Ford V-8 cars ~ combines comfort with stability and safety as never before,” the brochure notes. “It embodies three fundamental principles of design: First, correct spring suspension; Second, correct distribution of weight; Third, correct location of passengers within the car.
“To employ one or two of these principles is not enough, nor can one of them predominate at the expense of others. The new, easy riding springs of the Ford car would not by themselves provide the comfortable ride desired at all speeds.
“Therefore,” the brochure continues, "Ford Centre-Poise has combined all three principles and has archived unusual riding comfort with maximum stability and safety.”

This image is from a 1967 Ford Mustang brochure. I hope you enjoy the nostalgia, of going back in time. And, for some, I hope it brings back pleasant memories.
